Tools to Avoid or Use with Caution

⚠️ Avoid Google and Facebook services when privacy matters—data hoarding is their business model.
⚠️ Public Discord servers are not secure for organizing. Use Signal groups instead.

Organize with Intention

Security culture is collective. Encrypt what needs to be private. Share tools with your community. Educate others, rotate tools when needed, and always assume you’re being watched—because if you’re doing good work, you probably are.

7. News & Far-Right Monitoring

Monitoring the far-right is essential to understanding the threats we face and preparing collective responses.

These are the folks doing the real work, beyond sanitized headlines and state-friendly narratives.

Monitoring these pipelines isn’t about paranoia—it’s about preparation. These organizations provide critical info so communities can stay ahead, stay safe, and push back strategically.

8. Project 2025 Watch

Project 2025 is a real threat. It's not just another think tank white paper or political fantasy — it's a full plan to take over the U.S. government and reshape it into something authoritarian. The Heritage Foundation and a bunch of far-right groups put it together, and they’re not hiding it. Their goal is simple: total control.

If they pull it off, they’ll fire tens of thousands of civil servants and replace them with loyalists. They want to dismantle reproductive rights, wipe out LGBTQ protections, erase climate policy, crush public education, and bring religion into government in ways we haven't seen before. They’re calling for loyalty tests, political purges, and more power in the hands of one man — whoever’s president.

This isn’t just about the future. Pieces of Project 2025 are already being pushed in state governments, school boards, and law enforcement. The far right is testing it at the local level right now. If we ignore it, we’ll wake up one day and find it’s already here.
